Thread Name: BS: Well, looky here... (Iraqi WMDs)
Subject: RE: BS: Well, looky here...
from the article:

"Ms Wilmshurst is set to appear as a witness for 14 Greenpeace activists who have been charged with aggravated trespass after chaining themselves to army tanks at the Marchwood military port near Southampton in the run-up to war.

In a previous statement, she revealed why she resigned in the run-up to war. "I did not agree that the use of force against Iraq was lawful, and in all the circumstances I did not want to continue as a legal adviser," she said."

Obviously, by the standards that SRS has established, I do not need to read this or pay any attention, since it comes from an obviously partisan source.

In actual fact, one has to remember that for any lawyer, ther is always and equal and opposite lawyer. I would agree there is debate on this: That does not make it illegal. If there was a real case for that, where are the actions brought under international law? I have not seen any that have stated a judgement about this being an illegal war- just a lot of statements that some individuals feel that it is. Well, I feel that I should win the lottery: That does not mean it will be so.

And what specifically in the report has been proven false?
